My wife almost laughed at him at the moment.
He continued for a few more weeks about how I was dark now and that he could be her pretend power priesthood power ranger if she needed the power of god in her or the children's lives.
After he told her that he feared for our children, I called him and in no certain terms told him to stay away from my wife and children, and that he had no dominion over them.
He complied for a year, then accidentally added us back to the HT list.
After two HT companionships and one set of elders went to him with doctrinal questions, he apologized and was a good boy.
I miss the fresh meat though. Nothing like telling grown men or baloney bopping bicycle boys about the masonic connection to the temple, Joes poly/adry/gamy, the Papyrus rediscovery, etc et al.... *sigh*
When the ward was assigned a new bishop, my wife was still attending and he told her he wanted to meet with her WEEKLY. She said NO. A fe w months later she had her own realization of the whole fraud ridden cult and rather quickly and unceremoniously resigned from her callings and halted all attendance by her and our children. Of course the kids were ecstatic!
The new young bishop called me, the former pretend power priesthood power ranger of the house and asked what was going on.
Two hours later he realized our home should be a permanent DO NOT CONTACT, DO NOT GO NEAR!!, DO NOT MAKE EYE CONTACT!!! STAY AWAY FROM THEIR HOME list.
I told him I would not hunt down his unwitting flock of sheep, but advised him to not to send any to my testimony butcher block.
He agreed and asked me to not contact any of "his" members.
I laughed and said, "ohhh YOUR members... ooookkkkaaaaaayyyy"
"I am responsible for their spiritual well being", he said.
"No you are not, but I will not be seen stuffing windshield wipers at the chapel parking lot on sunday.
"As long as you are not part of any of these so-called Christian mega churches who are targeting us!", he said.
I told him they were not doing anything different than what the Mormon missionaries were doing.
We ended on that note.
We have not heard from him since!
Good to see your wife stood by you. Bullmastiffs are considered ugly dogs, but I loved mine. What's your gripe? Your wife and family stood by you. You want to tell other people what's "best" for them?
